Wyoming has a growing craft beer scene across the state, with some breweries decades old and others under a year old. The Equality State ranks seventh in the U.S. for breweries per 100,000 adults, according to 2015 statistics from the national Brewers Association. That figure is based on 23 operating breweries in 2015, though the Brewers Association now lists 35 breweries in operation or in planning stages across the state.
